Book Description
Angelique is a naturally beautiful woman who is full of ambition. When she relocates to New York for her job, she is optimistic about finding Mr. Right. But even in a city with millions of singles, her chaotic work schedule and chronic bad luck with men are a toxic combination. Angelique decides to put love on pause to focus on making partner at her Fortune 500 management consulting firm. However, corporate America’s maze of glass ceilings leave her disillusioned. One day, a business proposition from her co-worker Mona changes everything. Angelique and Mona’s first client is Mandingo Records, a label owned by the multi-millionaire, hip hop mogul, Big Buck. His world of raw lyrics, diamond encrusted grills, scantily clad video vixens, drugs and wild parties overwhelm Angelique. A typical day at the office is chocked full of the kind of drama she never dreamed of. Right on the brink of calling it quits, she catches the eye of the label’s biggest star, the king of hip hop, Vertigo. Long before he acquired his fame and fortune, Vertigo relied on his good looks and hazel eyes to charm women. They literally bent over backwards and sideways to please him without much effort on his part. Now that he’s a double-platinum selling artist, females are willing to go to new extremes to get his attention. But Angelique is unlike any woman he’s ever known. She challenges him in a way he’s not accustomed to. Can Vertigo and Angelique listen to their hearts, or will haters get in the way? In this first installment of the Ms. Mogul Series, love and loyalties are put to the ultimate test.

Book Description
Angelique is busy with her multi-million dollar consulting gig at Mandingo Records. Meanwhile, the hip hop label’s biggest star, Vertigo is occupied in a battle with another man for Angelique’s affection. Although she is nothing like the video vixens he’s used to dating, he finds himself drawn to her natural beauty. Outsiders are convinced that Vertigo and Angelique would be more of an odd couple than a power couple, but he isn’t concerned about what haters think and he makes it his mission to make Angelique his queen. Just as they are starting to get close, Vertigo is confronted with a dark piece of his past from the South Bronx neighborhood he left behind years ago. Soon, Vertigo is facing jail time and Angelique’s own secrets come to light. People say that love conquers all, but when you add jealousy and lust, it’s impossible to predict what will happen next. In the second installment of the Ms. Mogul Series the drama is mirrors a hit reality show.

Book Description
“If you’re a fan of the hit show Empire and its characters Cookie, Lucious, Hakeem, Jamal, and Andre, then you have to check out Terrance Dean’s provocative memoir Hiding in Hip Hop. Dean writes a compelling story about black gay men in Hip Hop and Hollywood, and what it takes for them to make it the entertainment industry.” – JL King, New York Times bestselling author of On The Down Low Celebrated blogger and former MTV insider Terrance Dean reveals a hidden side of Hollywood and hip hop in this explosive and illuminating memoir. Terrance Dean worked his way up for more than ten years in the entertainment industry from intern to executive and has lived the life of glitz and bling along with Hollywood and Hip Hop’s most glamorous heavy hitters. As a gay man immersed within the world of the famous and the fabulous, Dean knows well the industry’s secrets and the façade that is kept, that for men, promotes machismo and heteronormative behavior. Most of what Dean unveils in this book is fascinating and salacious, but all of it is true. He also shares his own secrets, and an account of the pain of his mother’s addiction, and the poverty and molestation he experienced as a child. Hiding in Hip Hop is not a traditional tell-all. It’s personal. It’s poignant. It’s a provocative and honest look at stardom and sexuality.

Book Description
Avoiding the easy definitions and caricatures that tend to celebrate or condemn the "hip hop generation," Hip Hop Matters focuses on fierce and far-reaching battles being waged in politics, pop culture, and academe to assert control over the movement. At stake, Watkins argues, is the impact hip hop has on the lives of the young people who live and breathe the culture. He presents incisive analysis of the corporate takeover of hip hop and the rampant misogyny that undermines the movement's progressive claims. Ultimately, we see how hip hop struggles reverberate in the larger world: global media consolidation; racial and demographic flux; generational cleavages; the reinvention of the pop music industry; and the ongoing struggle to enrich the lives of ordinary youth.

The wrong one. The one you couldn’t let go of. The one you’ll never forget. Lucy Albright is far from her Long Island upbringing when she arrives on the campus of her small California college and happy to be hundreds of miles from her mother—whom she’s never forgiven for an act of betrayal in her early teen years.

Meanwhile, Stephen is determined to forget an incident buried in his past that, if exposed, could ruin him, and his single-minded drive for success extends to winning, and keeping, Lucy’s heart. Lucy knows there’s something about Stephen that isn’t to be trusted. Stephen knows Lucy can’t tear herself away.
